So where is this picture with all those album hints from?
And was the Let it Bleed cake ever available in this form? Can't remember seeing it before.

A little more on the context of this photo here. Essentially, it came from the catalog (also published separately as a book) of an exhibition at the Danish Museum of Design of album cover art, representing 400+ albums!
...............
"Designmuseum Danmark presents a large special exhibition on the graphic development of the record cover – from early LP covers from the 1950s to today’s vinyl revival.
"With the exhibition ALBUM COVERS – VINYL REVIVAL, Designmuseum Danmark appeals to a broad audience – from young and old with a general interest in culture to design aficionados and music lovers. With a thematic presentation of more than 400 specially selected covers, this is – also in an international context – the first broad manifestation of the six-decade-long design history of the LP cover. The exhibition presents the visual culture of the album cover and its international development within a wide diversity of musical genres, documented with original releases throughout.
"The exhibition covers the time from the early illustrated LP covers from around 1950 until the today’s ongoing vinyl revival. With a broad range of themes, the exhibition captures key moments in the development of the album cover across the full spectrum of genres and expressions: from jazz to classical music and from the diversity of rock to easy listening. Among the main names showcased in the exhibition are Alex Steinweiss, Cassandre, Warhol, Peter Blake and Damien Hirst and design firms such as Hipgnosis, Stylorouge and Me Company. In addition, the exhibition has a special section devoted to Danish cover design represented by Peder Bundgaard, Peter Ravn, Hvass&Hannibal and others.
"With an emphasis on the main developments and trends in the history of album cover design, the exhibition examines the imagery of the medium arranged in a wide range of themes based on genre characteristics – from the psychedelic style with the covers for Cream’s Disraeli Gears and The Beatles’ legendary Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band to style icons such as David Bowie, Bruce Springsteen, Patti Smith, Grace Jones and Björk.
"The early beginnings of album cover design
The modern album cover, as we know it today, has its origins in the graphic designer Alex Steinweiss’ illustrated cover for the Rodgers & Hart shellac album Smash Song Hits released by Columbia Records in 1940. The illustrated cover did not have its real breakthrough, however, until the introduction of the long-playing vinyl record in 1948. That made records more user-friendly: They played for longer and were less fragile. But the introduction of the vinyl record and the larger format also marked the beginning of decades with lavishly illustrated, experimental, artistic and varied covers that put a face on the music and provided the interface and the appeal in the meeting of product and consumer in the record stores.
"Vinyl revival
Parallel with the digital development, there has been growing interest in the aesthetics and cultural history of the record cover in recent years, across the age groups. From 2006 to 2010, sales figures for LPs have grown explosively. Vinyl records still only make up a small fraction of the music market, but it is the only physical music medium that is experiencing growth.
"Currently, there is considerable interest in the golden days of the rock album cover, and young artists, musicians and graphic designers are creating new graphic examples of high-quality modern cover design. A characteristic of the rock cover is that it reflects a time of great musical diversity, a time when anything was possible, and the graphic LP cover format underwent a renaissance with rock and rock imagery as the major exponents. While the 1990s were a period of decline for the LP cover, the beginning of this new millennium has seen a revival, where the large-format rock album cover is gaining renewed impact and status as a visual medium.
"The exhibition addresses the album cover both as common property and as a design object that is recognised for its ability to define a mood and an atmosphere.
"Simultaneously with the exhibition, Forlaget Vandkunsten publishes the book Pladecovers – Vinylens Revival (in Danish only), edited by Lars Dybdahl and Laura Liv Weikop. In addition to the editors’ contributions, the book has contributions from Nils Frederiksen, Peter Michael Hornung, Ole Lindboe and Christine Rosenlund.
"The exhibition ALBUM COVERS – VINYL REVIVAL runs at Designmuseum Danmark from 11 October 2012 through 10 March 2013."
